Rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA
Your facial appearance is your calling card and creates the first impression. The size and shape of your nose play a significant role in the appeal of your face. Modern plastic surgery makes it possible, in talented hands, to create a more balanced, harmonious facial appearance by changing the shape, size or contour of the nose. To learn more about rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills with Dr. Feldmar, contact Feldmar Aesthetics today to schedule a consultation.
Rhinoplasty Consultation
The first step in finding out more about rhinoplasty is to schedule a private consultation. In this consultation, you will meet directly with Dr. David Feldmar. This gives you an opportunity to discuss your concerns and get all of your questions answered. You will have the opportunity to tell Dr. Feldmar the type of nose you envision for yourself. Feel free to bring a photo of a celebrity or other person who has what you consider to be the perfect nose for you. At our offices, we have many photographs to help you through the process, including people with a similar facial structure or nose issue, so you can see the “before and after.“
During your Feldmar Aesthetics rhinoplasty consultation, Dr. Feldmar will ask you about your medical history, as well as any issue of substance abuse, tobacco use, or alcohol use. Furthermore, you will need to bring in all the medications and supplements you currently take. Part of the consultation involves a full and accurate medical history. Tell Dr. Feldmar about any past surgeries, procedures, and complications you have experienced in your life. He can then make a decision based upon your general health, and whether you are a good candidate for the procedure – most people are.
During your consultation, Dr. Feldmar will make recommendations about the best course of action to take for your nose job to achieve the most attractive result. Every person is different, and the nose structure may need to be altered significantly or just minimally, depending upon what needs to be achieved. He will also advise you about any further cosmetic procedures available to give you the best possible appearance, such as a facelift, neck lift, brow lift, or chin augmentation. After settling on the expected type of nose job to be performed, Dr. Feldmar’s team will take photographs of your face for comparison and preparation purposes.
Rhinoplasty Procedure in Beverly Hills
The healing process for your rhinoplasty begins immediately when you awaken in the recovery room. Your nose may be stuffed with packing to sustain the altered structures. In addition, Dr. Feldmar will place a stint on the exterior of your nose to hold the newly-shaped nose in place.
If you experience pain or nausea in the recovery room, inform the attending nurse so you can get help. The nurse will administer medications so you are comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Feldmar will prescribe you pain, nausea, and anti-inflammatory medications to take during your recovery period so that your healing process is smooth.
The day after your procedure, the packing and splint will be removed from your nose and replaced with a taped dressing. The tape will need to stay in place for one week. During this time, avoid getting the dressing wet as this can lead to the growth of bacteria and the potential for infection. There will be prominent bruising and swelling of the face and nose. Expect to see red and swollen eyes from the procedure. Take all medications as directed by Dr. Feldmar. This remains especially important for any steroids and antibiotic medications. This prevents the nose from becoming infected or causing other complications.
Limit your diet to light, bland foods for the first few days following your procedure. If you don’t experience any difficulties, you can move on to heavier, tastier foods. Please adhere to the dietary guidelines provided to you after surgery. Avoid foods and spices that have been known to cause you sneezing or other reactions.
To prevent the formation of blood clots, walk around several times each day for a minimum of ten minutes. In addition to warding off the formation of blood clots, this promotes the circulation and healing of tissues. Don’t bend or exert yourself physically until cleared by your physician. Though the stitches will be tiny, they still have the potential to break when you exert yourself.
To bring down the swelling, sleep with your head elevated above your heart. This isn’t required, and a pillow isn’t likely to dislodge the nasal cast. However, this position is the most comfortable way to avoid a smothering sensation while sleeping. Also, if you usually sleep with your pet, your furry friend must sleep alone for a few weeks following surgery – no pets in bed. No matter how clean your dog or cat is, harmful bacteria must not be brought near to your incision site.

Things to Look Out for
Buy a small thermometer to check your temperature every six to eight hours. The first sign of infection will be an increase in temperature. Also, be aware of uncontrollable pain or headaches, or excessive redness and heat beyond expectations.
Other Risks
All medical procedures carry risks. These are some of the most common risks of Rhinoplasty.
Due to the incisions made, bleeding may occur. If excessive bleeding or a dramatic decrease in energy occurs, please contact Dr. Feldmar immediately. If unable to contact your physician, go to the nearest emergency room.
Depending on the extent of the nose job, you may develop an injury or hole in your septum. This can be corrected by the physician.
The healing process varies for each person. In some cases, the skin may not heal appropriately.
While rare, the procedure can result in a blockage caused by the amount of swelling in the nose.
Remember to move around to maintain proper circulation. A DVT refers to a large blood clot formed deep inside veins in the body. If it becomes dislodged, it can result in many problems including stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism (PE).
Some people may suffer from problems caused by anesthesia. This can best be prevented by discussing any past surgeries during the consultation. Advise Dr. Feldmar if you have a history of anesthesia complications.

Rhinoplasty FAQS in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, CA
Do not blow your nose – it can harm the surgical site. This can rupture the stitches, cause severe pain, or cause excessive bleeding.
Yes, but it won’t appear normal-sized. It will be bandaged, bruised, and swollen. After the tape is removed, the bruising may need another week to subside. The nose will continue to heal for the next month. In some cases of extensive reconstruction, the nose may require several months to attain the look desired. Don’t expect to be red-carpet ready for several weeks. The time will pass quickly, and a few months of healing is nothing when compared to a lifetime of feeling embarrassed or unhappy and suffering a lack of self-confidence.
